IPC: F41A5/18
Filed: 1911-12-08
Granted: 1913-02-05
Abstract: 2958. Silva, L. Martinez-. Dec. 18, 1911, [Convention date]. Breech actions, sliding breech-block.-Relates to gas-operated guns of the kind having two springs, one for opening and one for closing the breech; and consists in an arrangement whereby the two springs are compressed simultaneously by separate gas pistons. The springs and pistons are arranged in two cylinders 9, 10 placed end to end and both communicating with the barrel through a passage 25. The closing- spring 21 is compressed by a piston 15 which at the end of its rearward movement is caught by catches 12. The opening-spring 21<1> is compressed by a piston 10<1> which carries pivoted catches 10<a> adapted to hook over the end of a drive-rod 17 which actuates the breech-block. The rod 17 passes through the partition 23 dividing the two cylinders, and carries a piston 16 normally fitting into the front end of the cylinder 9. While the pressure in the barrel continues, the rod 17 is held forward by both the gas pistons 16 and 10'. When the pressure drops, the spring 21<1> drives the rod 17 rearwards and opens the breech. At the end of the rearward movement of the rod 17, both sets of catches 10<a> and 12 are released and the rod is driven forwards to close the breech by the spring 21. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also (a) a construction in which there is no opening-spring, but in which one piston compresses the closing- spring, and the other directly operates the driverod when the pressure in the barrel has fallen ; (b) a straight-pull operating-slide and means for connecting it to the drive-rod; (c) a catch for holding the breech open when the magazine is empty; and (d) two safety - devices. The arrangement of the pistons is shown in Fig. I (Cancelled). The closing-spring 21 is compressed by the piston 15 which slides on the drive-rod 17, and the drive-rod is driven rearwards by the piston 16, which, when the pressure in the barrel has fallen, is actuated by the expansion of the gases imprisoned in the cylinder 10, which is provided with a valve 30. The straight-pull slide 6, Fig. 16 (Cancelled), has a helical slot 45 engaging a stud on the breechblock, and is connected to the rear end 17<11> of the drive-rod by a pivoted bolt 54. The catch for holding the breech open consists of a bellcrank lever 72, Fig. 9 (Cancelled), having a hooked front end adapted to engage an enlargement 17<1> on the drive-rod. This catch is controlled by springs 78, 79 and by the pivoted cartridge-lifter 67. A safety-device for blocking the trigger comprises a pivoted segment 100, Fig. 9 (Cancelled), adapted to be turned into engagement with the back of the trigger. To prevent firing when the breech is not properly locked, the sear is formed with a projection 98, Fig. 9 (Cancelled), adapted to register with a recess 99 in the breech-block only when the breech is locked. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

The indicator and its case are held in place by a screw 19 inserted into the hollow shaft 13 of the wheel 14 from the rear of the bracket 12. Accidental movement of the indicator is prevented by a spring-pressed pin 20 situated in a hole in the bracket 12 and engaging cavities 22 in the rear side of the indicator. To allow the indicator to be removed, the upper part of the hub is cut away at its front end 17 to receive a projection 18 of corresponding shape on the front of the face 15 of the indicator case. A hard fibre disk 9 is placed between the end of the shaft 6 and the screw 8.
